Three Fit Tips From Cyc Fitness Founder Keoni Hudoba to Try Today

Passionate and energetic, Keoni Hudoba, the founder of kick-ass indoor cycling studio Cyc Fitness, has been called "a cross between a show host and a preacher." But Hudoba is his own success story -- he went from weighing 327 pounds 11 years ago to a now super-fit 180. Get schooled with his vast personal training knowledge with these must-follow fit tips.

Choose the right weight for you. “When I go to bootcamp classes, I see women holding 15- or 20-pound dumbbells, and their form ends up being terrible. Rather than trying to one up one another, choose a weight that will allow you to keep good form.

Sometimes the best tool is no tool at all. “Since I’m always on the road (Hudoba runs Cyc studios in NYC, Madison, WI and Austin), I’ve learned there is so much with just bodyweight. It’s the best weight to have. From plyometrics to push-ups and sit-ups, you can get an unbelievable workout.”

Sculpt flat abs with cables. Try this ouch-inducing move: “Sit between the cable machines with two handles on one side. Put the handles around your feet. Lie on your back and grab the cable behind your head with both hands, elbows bent 90 degrees. Slowly crunch your legs in, then out, keeping the core tight. “
